What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For an autumn event in Kit's Coty, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
